Hey Guys Thank yall for all the help , its coming off after work today and going to a rad shop . I will be running the RMI and distilled water going forward . I'm proud I got to inspecting things cause I found the top rad hose has been rubbing on that pulley that's its close to so I will be replacing it also
Please be careful! That's most likely a result of your MAF pipe (assuming you have aftermarket pipe)! And last year I had a brand new well known brand of pipe (whose name shall remain nameless) cost me my first ever Hot Rod Power Tour!
Put it like this I have what is basically a brand new MAF pipe (from another popular vendor who will remain nameless), that I took off my car after only fifty miles due to fitment issues and the quality of the connectors. In that, my top adapter connector sucked down so hard that it moved the pipe. (AND IT IS NOT LIKE MY CAR WAS SET ON HIGH BOOST LEVELS AT THE TIME AS IT WAS ONLY LIKE 15 PSI). And while I had no idea this had happened, but, when the pipe moved (from the connector collapsing) it pushed the top radiator hose into the fan belt. Which then cost me my first ever power tour! Now i do live in the sticks and this did happen at 10:30 at night on Sunday night. So, u go try and find a top radiator hose for a turbo regal at anytime much less 10:30 at night on Sunday night.
I will say this, I wouldn't even want to give the other pipe away (that I'm telling you about). Even though it's basically brand new. Because I know the results of such! So, please do beware someone else's nightmare out there (when seeking a MAF pipe)!
To solve your problem, Earl Brown is Da Man! He's very reasonable / inexpensively priced and his 3.5" pipe fits perfectly (even when running his larger up pipe)! I know this may sound cliche, but, the angle of the dangle really does matter. It's enough to make a difference between a 5-10 minute install (or a 2.5 hours install)!
I guess some manufacturers pipes just are not bent right (and that's no bull there)! Also Earl sends you everything you need to make it happen too. And it's all quality stuff too (which is another thing you have to be very careful of too)!
I'm sure that I can't be the only one with a like new MAF pipe sitting around either. And I'm not dogging anyone's product, just relaying my life experience is all! Nightmare is more like it!!
Good luck with it though!!
